The Malaria Foundation International (MFI) has announced the recipients of their Malaria Awards 2007, recognizing accomplishments from 2006. 

The foundation’s inaugural “Malaria Awards Ceremony” was established in 2006 to honor the many extraordinary individuals and organizations that have made and continue to make important contributions in the fight against malaria.  Its emphasis is on recognizing known leaders and also finding the world’s unsung heroes, to celebrate the willingness, dedication and accomplishments of people reaching beyond the call of duty worldwide to help prevent and treat this disease.  The awards program also serves to engage new leaders, including teachers, students, scientists, journalists, business leaders, celebrities and politicians.
